Lucidity Challenge 39: Congratulations, Koharo!

Something fresh today

[spoiler]Not really xP
3 FLDs[/spoiler]

Here, three short LD’s and one medium LD!!! :grin: :grin: :grin:

Only the medium accomplished a task – I completed Squoak’s desired action.

I am so glad I slept late this morning!

I know, I know. I just haven’t been having too many high quality LDs. :razz: My LD rate hasn’t changed from LC 37 (about 2 a week), but apparently the quality of dreams have dropped a lot.

IkranMakto, it’s really hard for me to wrap my head around how you can have so many dreams in which you justify something by believing you’re dreaming, but never consciously realize it. :sad:

LDbc12, squoak’s desired action for Task 2 was to fly, not to firebend — firebending is his personal goal. :sad: I still tossed some creativity points at you for attempting the tasks. Four LDs in a night is great, though!

Scipio, I remember you having 4.5 LDs per day! I’m always going to hold you to that! :tongue:

Scores are updated.

Had a long LD and a short one last night. Not gonna post because I don’t have time this weekend and there were no powers used at all, so no chance for points.

BrandonBoss, I’ve added them in.

Scores are updated.

Had a short LD last night that would have got me one-time points for task one, had I not already earned them.

Koharo, I’ve received your PM and adjusted your score accordingly as well as scoring the tasks.

Scores are updated.

6 FLDs during last two days

Thorn, I knows it’s kinda hard to believe but you don’t even know how annoying can it get when you look at your hands and see only 3 fingers on each but you still don’t get lucid. >.> I really need to work on my awareness.

I had a short LD last night. I tried to find Yev, James_uk2008, and Thorn so that we could all do the group incubation. This led me to my neighbor’s house, where I knocked on the door expecting to find you three there. However, David Hasselhoff answered the door. I have absolutely no clue why. I got tired of trying to find you three, so I decided to fight him. I can’t remember, but either I started to sing the song “Kung fu Fighting” or it started to play in the background of my dream. Regardless, we started fighting like in a martial arts movie, but didn’t actually hit each other, only blocked the others attack. Then I thought I could find Yev, James_uk2008, and Thorn inside the house, so I grabbed him and tossed him off the steps and out into the street, which was really funny to me in the dream. As I entered the house I woke up.

Also, I don’t know how to classify this, as I define a LD as being aware you are dreaming. I was in a dream and I took a sip of something that I don’t like IRL, but it tasted good in my dream. I then thought to myself, “Oh, it tasted good because this is a dream. It doesn’t mean it tastes this good IRL.” That was all, and then it went back to just a ND.

IkranMakto, I didn’t say it was hard to believe, but rather that it was hard to understand. You’re not the only one in this LC that’s pumping out FLDs constantly, and I’m not accusing such people of lying, so don’t think I’m saying anything like that. Also, my name is not “Thron”. :smile:
EDIT: Typo fixed.

HeadInTheClouds, I wish I could say that David Hasselhoff was your LC rival, but I don’t think he’s participating. :sad: I think that you’re on the right track with the group incubation being your ticket to victory, though, as it’ll also give you points for Task 5, the only task for which you haven’t received any points. By my calculations, if the LD is short or medium, you’d need to get done at least two parts of Task 5 to pass Koharo without banking on creativity points or a tiebreaker, and that assumes that he didn’t dream for points this morning and won’t tomorrow morning. I did give you a few creativity points for the attempt today as well.

Some important things to note as the LC draws to a close:* Only dreams experienced before November 26, 2:50 PM EST will count. I will allow 24 hours after this time for people to report qualifying dreams.

  • I’ve told many people that I would like to talk in Skype or Mumble about the Tasks, but I could never find enough people online at once. I intend to talk Tuesday evening (EST) about the LC as a whole — my thoughts, people’s likes/dislikes, people’s incubations for the tasks, the bonus task possibilities, preliminary results, thoughts for future LCs, and anything else that comes to mind — with anybody available, even if it’s only one or two people. I’ll check with people in #ld4all that evening to see who’s up for it; I know Scipio mentioned it, and I’m willing to chat with anybody else too.
  • If the LC seems to be decided on one last day of creativity points, i.e., a spread of 10 or less between 1st place and places below, I will run a short tiebreaker instead of immediately declaring a winner to prevent any appearance of bias. I will put out a task just for people within the spread, and on the first day that any involved people post points for it, whoever earns the most points for it on that day will win.
    Scores are updated. May the best dreamer win!

Sorry about that typo. Well honestly believe or understand it doesn’t really matter as it’s hard to do both. Maybe not for you but for me. :smile: And ye ye I’m doing my best don’t worry I haven’t given up yet. ^.^

[color=olive]11/24/13-11/25/13, 1 short LD and 3 FLDs. Limbo was a fail due to the absence of LC contestants other than that…
Tasks
-Tested the extent of an ability(Personal goal), being shot multiple times, twice in the eye while it was open.
-Watching the sun set through the parting storm clouds for a moment
-Tuning and playing guitar on stage in front of a large audience with a DC I believed to be Yev. (Attending a rock concert.)

Events
-Flying over NYC
-DC Universe Fragment
-Being in line for heaven
-Hanging with celebs[/color]

I have had dreams, but they have been unpostable because of their personal themes involving other, real, people. There was a conversation between me and a DC about how to properly learn several different kinds of magic and actually be able to use both at the same time, but I don’t think it includes anything that hasn’t been in my dreams earlier.

aand the very last 3 FLDs for me :razz:

I’ve graded everything up until this point. Remember that I’m allowing people to post any dreams that were had before Tuesday, November 26, 2:50 PM EST, but I’ll stop accepting submissions 24 hours after this deadline. That said, first-place is looking pretty deadlocked right now.

Scores are updated. Submit whatever you have left!

I thought I had told you about my lucids, but I guess you are really making it -THAT- official?

Congratulations to Koharo on his victory! :partying_face: Koharo, you have the option of running LC 40, passing things off to HeadInTheClouds (who can pass things off to BrandonBoss, and so on and so forth), making some sort of collaborative effort between you and the people ranking below you, or whatever you want to do. You have the reins right now! Post and let us know your plans!

I didn’t have the grand set-up for a conclusion that Scipio had in the last LC, but I did talk to some people (Scipio and ian1) to discuss the LC in general. If anybody wants to tune in, our conversation is available here unedited. Hopefully this is helpful in deciding how to structure LC 40. I also apologize if we misinterpreted anybody’s dreams or thought processes in our conversation; no offense is meant by any commentary. I also apologize for referencing HeadInTheClouds constantly, but to be fair, he did devote himself to the tasks in his LDs almost every time, so he provided the most material. :tongue:

Thanks to everybody who participated and for all of the feedback! I hope that you all manage the goals that went unfinished during the LC — people even changed their avatars to reflect their goals, and there were so many fun ideas that went untouched that I hope you all get to experience.
